Excellent laptop, few minor flaws I can live with
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a decent Windows based laptop that has nVidia RTX built in to get away from my 2019 MacBook Pro. I am a bit of an ASUS fan, having used their products for many years due to their build quality and reliability, (I owned an ASUS laptop in the Vista era and it was a great machine, I also have a self-built desktop based on an ASUS Maximus VIII Hero motherboard that is still going strong today, almost 5 years later). After much deliberation over getting the $200 cheaper Zephyrus g14 or a MSI GS66, I came across this model. Despite the g14 being a bit faster than this model, I decided on the m15 because it seems to have almost everything that I was looking for in a laptop: Thunderbolt 3 support, an Ethernet jack, RTX graphics, an open secondary M.2 slot, a 1 TB SSD preinstalled, better temps than the g14, a serviceable battery, at least one non-soldered slot for RAM, and a color calibrated 4k display. There is one really useful feature that I was unaware of before I bought the laptop: MyASUS (the built in software) includes a battery health manager to increase the longevity of your battery. If you leave it plugged in all the time in a docking station, it can be set to prevent the battery from charging beyond 60% or 80% of capacity depending on your chosen setting. It only stops the charging while the program is running in the background and can easily be disabled if you plan on taking the laptop on the road and need to charge to full capacity. The display is nice and crisp, Windows 10 v2004 still has some bugs with the default 250% display scaling in some programs. iTunes is barely useable (not surprised, it is Apple's issue). I also haven't figured out the best setting for games yet either. Playing games at 4k with the default Windows scaling seems to downscale some games, although I am not entirely sure. (I had to run the nVidia RTX Elevator demo using compatibility mode to disable the scaling to get it to even open.) Jedi Fallen Order runs at ultra settings and 4k resolution fairly well, it dropped a few frames but it was not unplayable. That is to be expected of the RTX 2060. This is not the max-q variant of the 2060. See the attached screenshot of GPU-Z for more info. When the laptop is set to turbo mode, it will increase the GPU's clock speed up to 2025 Mhz as needed. I don't notice much if any ghosting on the display, I am not a competitive online gamer so a high refresh rate isn't as important to me. Watching movies is a fair experience, the display has amazing color and contrast but there is some flashlighting in the corners of the screen on dark scenes that can be an annoyance and some movie playing apps tend to get the fans ramped up as well, which can drown out the mediocre speakers. A good pair of headphones would make it a much better experience. The keyboard is excellent compared to the butterfly keyboard on my mac, the keys are stiff and have a good tactile feel to them. The Aura backlighting is nice to have although it could be just a bit brighter. Keyboard backlight is just right at max brightness in the dark, and unlike the silver keyboard on the g14, the keyboard is easily legible on the m15 in the light with the backlight on or off. I also like the fact that F5 is set to change the boost mode with a tap and F6 is a shortcut to launch the windows snipping tool. I am not aware of there being a Fn lock on this laptop though, so you always have to hold the Fn key first. I hope that ASUS will push out a BIOS update in the future that allows you to disable the power button LED, it is bigger and brighter than all of the other status leds below the screen and it appears to always be red. It is slightly annoying to have it in the corner of your vision constantly. Finally, I wanted a laptop with good linux support. I moved the factory NVME M.2 SSD into slot 2 and installed a 250Gb SATA M.2 drive in slot 1. Only slot 1 supports SATA M.2 drives but both will support NVME drives. I was surprised when installing Fedora 32 that everything was fully supported on the laptop as far as I cold tell. The intel integrated graphics are enabled by default and drivers for nVidia had to be installed manually which also requires Secure Boot to be disabled in the UEFI to get them to load. It appears to be running very smooth so far. I also tested booting off a USB drive with Linux Mint 19.3 but driver support for that was lacking with no touchpad or wifi support out of the box. All-in-all this is a beautiful laptop with quality hardware and good build quality. I would easily recommend it for the power user or professional that likes to play a AAA title here and there and wants a laptop that can play them in style.

Awesome production laptop
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this mainly for photography work as well as occasional videography work on the go. It hasn't let me down yet. The 4K screen has incredible color reproduction. Yes they call this a gaming laptop, however at this point if they label certain products under a "gaming" tag, more times than not it'll be higher spec'd hardware than non gaming versions. This 4K screen only does 60hz, which is NOT what a gamer would want these days. This laptop also comes in a 144hz and 240hz screen versions. If you're gaming only, I suggest those versions. If you care more about using your screen for work, then this 4K screen model is excellent. The i7 is plenty fast and the 2060 GPU does it's job well while using Adobe's Creative Suite. The battery lasts pretty long if you're only browsing the web while on the battery. If you want to do work or gaming, it'll not only not last long, but it also dips performance because it's trying to make the battery last as long as possible. Just plug it in if you want to game or do work. I highly recommend this laptop!

Great product, especially for the current price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Online store made the process of selecting and purchasing the product pretty easy while being able to compare and weigh pros-cons against other similar laptops. Also, in-store pickup was quick and easy and staff were friendly and helpful. The laptop itself works great so far. The system itself runs pretty much silently with a responsive and tactile, but quiet, keyboard. The layout itself is intuitive and ergonomic. And dollar for performance-wise, it's a pretty great machine. I like the adjustable and customizable backlighting on the keys, as well as the display itself. It's very crisp and haven't had any problems with any programs I normally use. I will be trying out some more demanding games and programs so if anyone has any questions in response to this review, I can probably answer them in the next few weeks. It's incredibly light considering the hardware it's packing, it charges fast, and so far the battery life stands at the estimated by ASUS (around 7-8 hours, 5-6 for more demanding programs). For the current price (I purchased it for 1250USD), highly recommend this laptop.

And Iiiii-e-iiiiiiii Will Always Love You!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will be returning because I found a 3060 desktop directly from ibuypower, but I will miss this laptop! The 4K display is drop dead gorgeous. I have had no problems with it and part of me wants to just keep it. When you have a MacBook, a work laptop, and a desktop coming beginning of June, you just can’t justify keeping it. Pros: the keyboard is really, really nice. The case is svelte. The screen is amazing. The 2060 can handle a ton of stuff. Cons: the CPU is a bit of a bottleneck when playing warzone (mid high settings), listening to music, chatting on discord, and streaming TV at the same time. No display port output. Rebuttals to negative reviews: I have not had any problems whatsoever with overheating. Summary: get this laptop. It’s a GREAT deal.

Gamer or Creator this is a good choice!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great laptop. If you are ok without a web camera when 720p web cameras are the norm and they are no longer relative! I would recommend this laptop for sure it does not look like a gaming laptop unless you get up close and that’s great for creators. It’s also a legit gaming laptop as well but you may want to go for the 1080p version for faster refresh rates but for us the 4K is the way to go: NIVIDIA now has gaming video drivers and studio creator drivers so any fast dedicated video card by NIVIDIA is the way to go! I did a video review and unboxing on my YOUTUBE channel. Unboxing and review: https://youtu.be/VcukJGdnCho

EVERYDAY LAPTOP
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. been with this laptop for over 2 years. Battery still runs very well. Love the screen. You can play anygame with average graphics. The problem for me would be that the laptop and its charger are really big and heavy. If it werent for that it would be a 5 stars.

Impressive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setting my laptop standards down to the 2014 4th gen intel level, I was astonished at how insane and seamless getting started with this computer was. My laptop prior to this was a Toshiba E45t-B4204. The service and support Best Buy provides is incredible; the store’s staff are honest with what they recommend. The only downside to this model is the fact that it doesn’t have a front-facing camera but aside from that, I can’t wait to be using this laptop for the next 7-or-so years! Anyway, this laptop has gone beyond what I thought it was capable of and I’m excited to be the one using this for my future e-commerce endeavors :)
